Children from Helen’s first marriage with Floyd Martindale: Jim Martindale, who lives in Newell, Iowa and Gerada Martindale Nesbitt, married to Richard Nesbitt of Newell, Iowa. Gerada (my mom) passed away on Feb 4, 2001.

Children from Helen’s second marriage to Frances Dingman: Helen Foster, who is married to Rich and lives in Guthrie Center; Ginger Swaney, married to Frank Swaney and lives in Hampton, Iowa; Darl Dingman who lives in Atlanta Georgia; Boyd Dingman, married to Diana and lives in Omaha (check Dingman Collision Center.com on web to find out more detailed information about Helen’s kids.) Darlene was the second to youngest and died of diabetes in about 1953 at the age of 5.

(I intended to email you this last spring when we corresponded but I became sick (with no previous health issues) and ended up having a liver transplant at UNMC.----added April 5 2010Thank you very much for adding my information to your Boyd family blog. I noticed today that I didn't include Darl's wife Colleen (one of my grandma's sons). Also Frank Swaney died in 2008. I don't know how difficult and time consuming it is to add this info, but if you have time, I would appreciate it.

Thank you very much!!!Nesbitt, Scott [mailto:scott_nesbitt@southern-cal.k12.ia.us]
